Moana Hope, is actually a really great human!
The former Collingwood marquee forward detailed to AFL.com.au the difficulties she faced in the first two NAB AFL Women's seasons, including a knee injury that hampered her first year, and more debilitating, dealing with anxiety and depression.
"I put my hand up to say my first two seasons haven't been great, but I also think a lot of people don't know I've been injured at stages and mentally not strong," Hope said.
The 30-year-old came into the AFLW system as one of its highest-profile players. She kicked 106 goals for the St Kilda Sharks in the VWFL in 2016 and signed with the Magpies, one of the biggest clubs in the land.
Hope sustained the knee injury (diagnosed as a strained PCL in her right knee) in December, 2016 in the lead-up to season one. Although she played every game, she was under duress and fans didn't see the best of her.
"I physically wasn't right, mentally wasn't right and we weren't playing good footy.
"I've had massive anxiety. There were training sessions at Collingwood where I would break down and cry in the car the whole way home, because everything was out of my control and it was so hard," she said.
Hope has nearly fully recovered from her stint on the reality television show Australian Survivor, which was filmed in Fiji. Hope was voted out of the show after contracting a nasty illness.
"Once I got sick, I lost seven kilos in five days (on the island). I just couldn't keep anything down. After being voted out, I was in bed for three-and-a-half weeks, just trying to eat and drink again," she said.
"I went to the doctors and it took them a week to get blood, because my immune system had shut down and I was beyond dehydrated. I was down and out.
"I was sent to a disease clinic. It was like a traveller's disease or something I had picked up. I am still going to appointments for that. There was a lot of things out of whack in my tests."
Filming coincided with the AFLW Trade Period, so Hope had set things in motion with North Melbourne ahead of time. But when the time came for her to make the final call, she was in a jungle.
"The producers had warned us not to steal anything, which I thought was rude. I know I'm from 'Broady' (Broadmeadows, a working-class suburb in Melbourne's north-west), but why would you assume that?" she said with a laugh.
"I had just finished a challenge and a producer called me over. We were in head-high bushes in the jungle. I'm scared of snakes, and I thought she must have been going to tell me off, thinking I had stolen a Thermos of coffee from a cameraman or something.
